<p>Wet snow avalanches will become likely on sun exposed slopes as daytime warming occurs with warmer temperatures and strong April sunshine expected today. Increased winds overnight and through today could create slabs of wind blown snow along ridges, in gully features, and in open areas. If you see signs of unstable wet snow or areas of wind blown snow, move around these areas of concern or away from avalanche terrain. </p>
